There have been calls for this republican to be dismissed by his own party.
Ken Braun Dave Agema s white supremacist New Year MLive.com
In a New Years’ Eve posting on his infamous Facebook page, disgraced Michigan GOP national committeeman Dave Agema reprinted an essay about African-Americans. Either Agema or somebody he is quoting endorses it as “very interesting” and “very enlightening” for “anyone concerned about crime in America.” The essay - since taken down by Agema - is copied from the May 9 edition of American Renaissance, a white supremacist magazine.
While more grammatically precise than most racist screeds, it is racist all the same. Wrapping up his thoughts, the author - allegedly an experienced defense attorney - says the following:
“However, my experience has also taught me that blacks are different by almost any measure to all other people. They cannot reason as well. They cannot communicate as well. They cannot control their impulses as well. They are a threat to all who cross their paths, black and non-black alike.”
This is preceded by three pages of gross stereotyping. White felony defendants and their families are portrayed as better behaved, dressing more appropriately, and deferential to their lawyers; while black defendants are ill behaved, ill dressed and less intelligent. Black “bad guys” are supposedly far worse than “white” bad guys.
